Lisa Kudrow is known for playing Phoebe Buffay on Friends<\/em>, the hit sitcom that ran from 1994 until 2004. Although the cast still hangs out to this day, in a recent interview with The Times<\/a>, <\/em>Kudrow revealed that there was \u201cmean stuff going on behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n The actress claimed that the women who starred on the show\u2014herself, Jennifer Aniston, and Courteney Cox\u2014were not always treated well by the writers of the series, who were predominantly men.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were recording in front of a live audience of 400,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd if you messed up one of these writers\u2019 lines or it didn\u2019t get the perfect response, they could be like, \u2018Can\u2019t the b*tch f***ing read? She\u2019s not even trying. She f***ed up my line.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n She also revealed that the writers would sexualize the female members of the cast. \u201cWe know that back in the room, the guys would be up late discussing their sexual fantasies about Jennifer and Courteney,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was intense.\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n She continued, \u201cThese guys \u2013 and it was mostly men in there \u2013 were sitting up until 3am trying to write the show, so my attitude was, \u2018Say what you like about me behind my back because then it doesn\u2019t matter.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Years ago, there was a lawsuit filed by Amaani Lyle, a writer\u2019s assistant on Friends<\/em> who claimed she faced racial discrimination and sexual harassment in the writer\u2019s room.<\/p>\n As reported by Bustle<\/em><\/a>, \u201cIn the lawsuit, Lyle said she remembered writers talking about \u2018what they would like to do sexually to different female cast members on the show\u2019 and made \u2018demeaning comments\u2019 about another actress in the cast, an identical account to Kudrow\u2019s memory.\u201d However, the lawsuit was thrown out of court in 2006, with a judge ruling<\/a> that the writers had not violated any laws.<\/p>\n <\/a> Lisa Kudrow Is Now Working With the Son She Was Pregnant With on \u2018Friends\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Haylie Duff Splits From Fianc\u00e9 Matt Rosenberg After 12-Year Engagement<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Nicole Richie Addresses Her Friendship With Her Husband\u2019s Ex, Hilary Duff<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Lana Del Rey\u2019s Ex Clayton Johnson Says Her New Marriage \u2018Might Sting a Little Bit\u2019<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Take-Two CEO Calls AI-Made Games at \u2018GTA 6\u2019 Scale \u2018Laughable\u2019<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
